The Companion Volunteer will provide companionship and support for end of life patients. Examples of activities are playing cards/games, watching TV, take the patient out into the garden area for fresh air, reading to the patient, memory boards, sitting vigil, etc. There is no physical care involved. All training provided. Hours are very flexible, weekdays, evenings or weekends.
